A person with an eating disorder may become obsessed with losing weight, checking their weight or body shape, and controlling their eating habits.
How do people with eating disorders behave
With eating disorder, a person overeats, either severely restricts himself in food, or experiences emotional discomfort due to his own eating habits.
Such disorders include anorexia, bulimia, psychogenic and other disorders.
According to modern statistics, more than 1% of the world's population suffers from eating disorder.
Who is susceptible to eating disorders
RPP is more often diagnosed in women, but this does not mean that women are more susceptible to this condition than men.
It’s just that women turn to specialists for help more often than men, which is why they are included in statistics more often.
In addition, eating disorder can develop in children and the elderly.
